nslookup using server alternative in python
I'm looking for a python replacement for nslookup.
Other sources have pointed me towards socket.getaddrinfo(). However, this does not seem to allow me to specify a server through which to resolve a hostname, which nslookup supports and I require.
C:UsersAdministrator>nslookup 10.0.11.6 coolserver
Server: coolserv.coolserver.com
Address: 10.0.1.1
Name: the-host-name-i-want.blah.com
Address: 10.0.11.6
It is a requirement that I be able to do the lookup through "coolserver". Is this something socket or any other python library is capable of?
I'm aware that I can just call nslookup directly through subprocess.
EDIT:
As explained above, this is not a duplicate of python module for nslookup
To my knowledge, socket.getaddrinfo() does not allow you to route the request through a server. I need to know "what does this server think my hostname is". Not "what is my local hostname".

You need to create a resolver object and set the resolvers to the DNS servers you want to use:
from dns import *
resolver = resolver.Resolver()
resolver.nameservers = ['8.8.8.8']
a = resolver.query('duckduckgo.com','A')
a.rrset.items[0].address #'54.241.2.241'
To do a reverse lookup do this:
r =reversename.from_address('50.18.200.106')
ra = resolver.query(r,'PTR')
ra.rrset.items[0].to_text() # 'ec2-50-18-200-106.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com.'
Note ec2-50-18-200-106.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com is a duckduckgo.com web server.
You may need to install dnspython.
